Yes I have worked in Property Management for the last 20 years and wanted to go up there and work for Alaska housing finance corporation helping with native alaskan housing. Flying to all those small villages inspecting , scheduling maintenance ,building including all the compliance paperwork for hud.
As a smokejumper 35 years ago I got to experience the Alaskan tundra and some of it’s villages; a 4th of July softball game in Bethel too. Thanks for this vlog, Peace, Michael.
Thank You both for such a heart warming adventure both to you and the children. One of which the children and the two of you will never forget. You brought tears to my 76 year old eyes as you interact with them. I know I will never experience what you have seen, touched, felt and experienced through the eyes of the youth. May God Bless your journeys through life. Looking forward to future journeys. I wish I could help out through the Patron portal but as I live on Social Security alone and have to take care of 2 families that is not possible. Again, God Bless the both of you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It warms our hearts to know that our adventures have touched you. We're grateful for your support and look forward to sharing more moments in the future!
Newish subscriber after watching your TransCanada-Canadian rockies series. Love the music, the art, the storytelling. Love everything about the videos! You guys deserve x100 more subscribers! Watching from Winnipeg 🇨🇦
This is one of the best things I've watched in a long, long time. I learned so much and the songs and mural were all amazing. It's so cool to see this small part of the world that I probably would never see / know about without your video. Thank you for sharing it!
Matty!!!! Hi!!! Sending you a huge hug across the distance! Thank you your kind words about the episode. I'm so happy you came along for the ride with us to this beautiful corner of Planet Earth ❤️
@@ArtWeThereYet oh thank you for the-warm welcome! I’ve watched a lot of travel videos yours are truly unique in creative even in the same locations as Other popular videos. There is a lot to learn for all of us. currently I’m in southern Utah working on a house for some people that are super nice. I should be done soon so I could at least have 4 to 5 weeks to travel the national parks here in southern Utah. I’m single now but I travel with two Boston terriers Jack and Rocco. I’m sure if I wasn’t so busy I’d be binge watching all your videos ha ha take care of you guys -keylime DP
Great work you two. Amazing short story of giving and receiving. What a unique culture on our planet. I hope the love and cherish it and don’t get caught up in the world of so many things far away. Beautifully composed episode.
This is awesome! Thank you for providing this incredible resource to share with my Biology class while studying the tundra biome! The two of you are beautiful people! Thank you again!
Thank you very much for this marvelous documentary that brings to us a part of this planet and its people we don’t know so little about. A real eye opener.
I had to watch this again. It's been 13 years since my family and I moved away, and it's wonderful to see home through the lense of your experience. Quyana! The elder who spoke is my eldest brother. Our mothers are sisters, and because they are sisters both their children are considered to be siblings. I loved the songs, by the way! Great video.
This is so special. Cody, thank you for taking the time to reach out and send us this message. Our time in Chevak was so special for us - we miss it and appreciate the welcome arms we received! Quyana!
Increíbles imágenes, sonidos, historias y trabajo para los niños y las comunidades que visitan. ¡Su canal ya es mi favorito! ¡Muchas felicidades! ¡Qué siga el viaje!
I am becomed really amazed to see how you two are visiting the rural place of alaska.and passing some very enjoyable time with the native Alaskan people.and also very amazed to see how you respect the ancestors of the USA.love from Bangladesh.
I dont usually comment in a video, but you guys really did a fantastic job on showing the whole journey! The commentating, the historic facts, the cinematography, the geographic information, the social interactions, and of course the sceneries are all amazing! Couldnt help but binge watch the videos from "Driving Across Canada" to this one. Kudos to Cora and Jose, and wish you guys have even more wonderful adventure ahead!
THANK YOU. This is a very welcome message of kindness and encouragement. We're a bit beat today after hours and filming and now hours of editing. Hearing feedback like this makes us nod our heads and say, "Yeah, this is worth it! Onward!" So thank you so much.. 😊
Wow, the mural was beautiful and the Cupik/English song was nice. You two are definitely embracing Alaska from the road system to remote villages. Weather and travel are no joke here. I read your bio and saw that Jose went to SAIC. A friend of mine in Anchorage went there a few years ago too. And, it was cool to read that you both enjoy international travel. Thoroughly enjoying your art projects and collaborations. It'd be cool to see one involving food like cultural, fishing, foraging, and hunting. Excited for your next video.
Best original score, not just in UA-cam. There is no way for me to view such beautiful video and stunning audio also. I haven’t viewed all your ‘RV’ videos yet but they are a must and will definitely get to the breakdown of RV/school bus, somewhere in Alaska. Thank you again for the hardest job too to clean the inside and outside of the windshield. I hope you don’t mind me recommending your UA-cam channel, Are we there yet? Argentina?
That's very kind to say - and yes, of course, please recommend the channel! Just to clarify though - we are using music from musical artists on Epidemic Sound. I (Cora) did not compose the music for all the Season 1 videos! I would if I had the time, but just making the videos and filming the upcoming videos (plus other work thrown in there) keeps us busy more than full-time!
My family on my mom’s side lives in Bethel. My gramma is Nora Guinn, she was the first ever woman Ak native judge!! (She used to curse out repeat offenders in Yup’ik in her courtroom) I love your Alaska videos
Oh that is amazing. She sounds like an amazing woman! So happy you found us, and that you enjoy the videos! Coming from an Alaskan, that means the absolute most. Thank you!! Sending a wave from Ketchikan!
Little known fact: Bethel is the 1st. and last checkpoints on the annual Kuskokwim (CUSS-koh-quim) 300 dogsled race. It seems it's a good day to fly a kite in Bethel, if you don't mind it ending up in Siberia.😀 That's the kind of wind the mushers can run into up in the Unalakleet [YOU-nuh-luh-cleat], on the Bering Sea) area during the Iditarod--wind chills of around -100F. Back in '84, during my 9244mi. solo drive to and from AK, I flew out of Anchorage on a 2-day tour to the "big cities" of the Alaskan Bush--Nome and Kotzebue, and even that was eye opening.
@@ArtWeThereYet, but from what I hear, the sleep deprivation becomes so huge after 4 or 5 days that you can't hardly think straight. However, I've been on 2 dogsledding tours--1 up in Ely, MN near the Boundary Waters, and the other about 100 mi. north of the Canadian border in Ontario, and yes, it was epic. So, I'm not sure I'd want the exhaustion, but it's amazing to watch a recap later on.
Weird, I can’t find my comment with the link to the Alaskan library with the book you dropped in the live stream chat. I can look for that link if anyone wants it still, or y’all can go digging in the live chat!
Luckily we didn't see any. I think it is too far north for grizzlies, and maybe a bit far south for polar bears to be very common. But I could be wrong! Haven't done the research on the extend of different bear habitats throughout Alaska
@@ArtWeThereYet That’s a good question, especially because one should ask what is a traditional house in America. But since until the arrival of the Europeans there were no houses in America, at least not in the way that we understand, then let’s say that a traditional house architecture is the one used in Europe between the XVIII and the XIX centuries. That kind of construction provided architectural beauty and tradition to the cities while on the countryside it blended the house with nature in an harmonic way and created villages where people live in contact with its neighbours. The use of stone and wood gives a special character to the village that makes its people inhabitants of a unique place, full of character and different to other villages. I’m from Spain and the villages in the north of the country, with an architecture similar to the one in the north of Europe, contrasts with the white villages from Andalucía, the stony villas from the Mediterranean or the black stone houses from the mountain regions. Each region has its own architecture that make each village unique and beautiful. Something that a great country like the USA seems to have given up.

🎉POLL TIME! Would you travel to remote Alaska if given the opportunity? Would you visit a community or the wilderness?
Non-remote Alaska kicked my butt. 🙂 On a healthier occasion I would love to visit and learn about the culture and traditions.
@@MushiGangHopefully one day you can visit! You will love it!

This American way of building houses is really depressing. Villages would look much nicer with traditional homes.
You definitely got a point there, but what's your definition of a traditional home?

Do you know what their traditional houses were like?
